There is no path to peace.
The path TO peace does not exist out there somewhere.
The path OF peace lies within.
The path of peace begins with inner peace.
Cultivating Contentment and Inner Peace
Conquering others takes force.
Conquering yourself takes true strength.
Knowing what is enough is wealth.
There is no greater calamity
than not knowing what is enough.
There is no greater fault
than desire for success.
Therefore knowing that enough is enough
is always enough.
If we focus on achieving more and more
We don’t remember to appreciate
what we already have and who we truly are.
Follow one’s heart and act in sync with one’s nature.
One should follow one’s heart
and act in sync with one’s nature,
this will benefit society as a whole.
We do this by being nothing more or less than ourselves,
who we really are.
Recognizing our position in the world,
our abilities and limitations,
and then acting accordingly,
will bring happiness and inner peace. (Zhuangzi)
